The contractor provided an agreement and a limited repair plan that included repair locations and pre -Lift elevations for the structure for our review. No other information was provided regarding prior engineering reports, recommen- dations for limited foundation repairs or construction documents. If existing piers are shown in the limited repair plan, their locations were provided by the client and are approximated. We do not certify their performance or exist- ence. If the reader would like to determine if they are present, they must contact the owner or contractor to obtain an engineering certificate for them. According to the contractor, physical damage is present which indicates a need for remedial measures. Arch Foundation Repair has recommended installation of 12 LF of 2 (2x6) wood beam, 3 block and base piers, and to re -shim the area of work with steel shims. All limited repairs are to be made in the approximate locations of the structure as indicated on the limited repair plan and may be altered based on field conditions of the foundation. Upon review of the elevation drawing and based on the contractor's evaluation of the property, we believe the pro- posed limited repair plan to be a reasonable and limited repair. Expectations and Additional Recommendations.- This ecommendations:This report provides our reasonable professional opinion of the condition of the foundation on the date of the inspec- tion by the contractor and is based on the data provided to us and does not take into consideration any changes in the condition of the foundation or soils after that date. The contents of this report supersede any verbal comments made regarding the structure before, during or after the inspection. Although document review is an integral part of the limited foundation repair process, we recommend obtaining a visual inspection by a licensed engineer. CE can com- plete this visual inspection for an additional fee. If Crosstown is not contracted to perform a visual inspection it is unknown to us as to whether or not additional repairs may be needed. This limited repair plan is intended to provide a reasonable repair to improve the performance of the foundation and is not intended to level the foundation. The contractor shall determine the amount of elevation correction needed based on the reaction of the structure during the lift in order to minimize damages and additional stress. Because the structure has endured pre -repair foundation differential movement, residual differential elevation and perceptible floor slope or other noticeable issues may remain following the limited foundation repairs. The soils beneath and surrounding the structure are known to shrink and swell as the seasonal soil moisture content fluctuates. Moving forward, we anticipate that some cracks in the interior and exterior walls will surface due to seasonal movement within the soils, even after limited foundation repair. Periodic repair of this type of cracking may be needed. Page 1 of 6 - Date: 10/4/2017 N 17 - 110 ca k.l(A c cry, IJ I X %I I OSSTOWN----,_, A foundation and yard watering and foundation maintenance program will help control seasonal movement. It is important that the soils be stabilized and maintained with grass or ground cover around the perimeter of the structure. In addition, tree and shrub removal or root barrier installations are advisable if trees or bushes are observed to be close to the foundation. Tree roots can cause "heave" or settlement of the foundation where roots grow and absorb moisture over time when planted close to the foundation (tree roots extend approximately as far or further than tree limbs). Maintaining the soils around the structure to slope away from the foundation to prevent excessive ponding near the foundation in areas that are not already sloping away will help prevent future foundation movement. We recommend that a full gutter system with gutter extensions be maintained to discharge a minimum of 4 feet from the foundation (not in landscaped flower beds or any other location that will trap water near the foundation). Ponding near the foundation can cause "heaving" (upward movement of the foundation), settlement of the foundation due to overly saturated clays soil or erosion of soil embedment around the foundation. If standing water is observed at any time in the pier and beam area by the owner, we recommend immediately pump- ing the water out to prevent water damage to wood elements and to prevent humid conditions in the crawlspace. Humidity in the crawlspace can cause wood rot. If standing water is observed near the foundation after a rainstorm, we recommend consulting a drainage expert or engineer to evaluate the terrain and develop a drainage management strategy to address the issue. We recommend pre -lift and post -lift plumbing tests be performed on the sewer and potable plumbing lines. All leaks shall be repaired immediately. Disclaimer: We do not warrant the future performance of the subject foundation and the reader is urged to review the Disclosure & Disclaimer for other limitations and standard recommendations. The limit of liability is limited to the fee paid for this opinion. No further agreement shall be made, altered, or varied except by written instrument. This report was completed to document the repairs to be implemented by the contractor. Neither Crosstown Engi- neering nor Adam Green, P.E., are responsible for liability to the owner or others for acts or omissions of the con- tractor to carry out the repairs in accordance with their agreement or for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures or the safety precautions incident thereto. The contractor is solely responsible for the warranty of the work they performed in accordance with their agreement.

NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THIS ENGINEER AS TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS FOUNDA- TION OR THE REPAIRS THERETO. Diligent foundation maintenance to maintain consistent soil conditions along the perim- eter should reduce further problems after the recommendations within this report have been implemented. However, seasonal moisture variations, water leaks, erosion and other factors may affect the stability of the foundation and put it in danger of further damage. REPORT LIMITATIONS This report is written for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a detailed technical evaluation of the property or an inventory of defects. The opinions expressed in this report are based on a visual evaluation of current conditions observed at the time of the inspection.

Knowledge of cracks, vertical differential displacement of floors without uncovering of the floor by the client; and 3. Any other element such as joists or beams and other structural members that is boxed or otherwise not readily available to CE for viewing, and releases CE from any liability attributable to such knowledge or conditions. Any prescribed repair or maintenance plan detailed by this report is based on observations of apparent performance of the facility at the time of this structural survey. Compliance with any code or specification other than as expressly noted is specifically excluded.
